Microsoft PowerToys version

0.87.1

Installation method

GitHub

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Workspaces

Steps to reproduce

  • run powertoys as an Admin user (ie, seperate account from the logged in user)
  • create new workspace with any configuration
  • try launching the workspace

✔️ Expected Behavior

It works

<admin account>\AppData\...\workspaces.json is the file that is written to when creating or editing a workspace in my scenario, but
<logged in user>\AppData\...\workspaces.json is the file that is read when launching a workspace.

Either the admin account workspaces.json should be read (as that is the one that's written when creating/editing a workspace), OR the logged in user workspaces.json should be the one that is written (as that is the one that is read when the workspace is launched).

As a workaround, I simply copied <admin account>\AppData\...\workspaces.json to <logged in user>\AppData\...\workspaces.json
